I love that UK is struggling. Their fans are among the worst.

It took just a few short years to go from the players need a stipend to players need million dollar plus contracts. Student-athlete college sports is pretty much over.

Yup. Caps are desperately needed. What is taking so long to put a few guardrails up?

I doubt guardrails would work. Schools would just wink at the caps and shovel money under the table. Same as ever.

How about Florida? Golden brought in 2 guards at who knows what price tag who can't throw it in the ocean from 3. They went 1-9 last night against UConn. And the Gators are now 5-4.

Mizzou is living on budget store players and Florida and Kentucky raided the portal for the best players along with St. John and Michigan. I will also throw in Louisville.

This is part of what Drink was talking about when he said he would like to see more corporate money coming into the program.

Most super rich people didn't become that why by pissing money away. You have to think the money gravy will run dry for most programs at some point. Even for big companies, you would think eventually they will ask "what am I getting by sending them millions of dollars?".

Gators can have Boogie Fland and Xavian Lee. Guards who can't shoot 3s aren't that hot. They are not Walter Clayton Jr.

You must not know many rich people and how they like to flaunt their wealth.

You constantly complain on this forum about the money generated by other SEC schools, so I guess you are now saying how smart Mizzou people are and how dumb the other teams' fans are

You keep claiming poor for the basketball program, so explain how Gates has the No. 1 2026 recruiting class right now. Those top recruits aren't coming here for nothing.

Not being smart enough to recognize Majic's trolling is almost as bad as not recognizing your trolling.
